This is a WIP language!

Introduction

Irengai (/iːɹəŋgaɪ̯/, native /ɨɦɨ̃ŋəj/) is a language made mainly for youtuber Agma Schwa's Minecraft server, after many others have made conlangs for their respective nations. Irengai's native speakers, the Gharens, are particularly unique for marking vulgarity with their verbs and adjectives.

Phonology

Irengai's consonants
Labial Coronal Dorsal Laryngeal
Nasal m n ŋ
Plosive p t k ʔ
Fricative ɸ~f s~θ̠ x ħ~h
β~v z~ð̠ ɣ ʕ~ɦ
Approximant w l j, ɰ ʁ̞ʷ~ʀᵝ
Irengai's vowels
Plain Nasal
High ɨ ɨ̃~i̘ˀ
Low ə ə̃~ɤ̘ˀ

Orthography

Irengai's orthography (consonants)
Labial Coronal Dorsal Laryngeal
Nasal m n ng
Plosive p t k q
Fricative f s x h
v z c r
Approximant u (w) l i (j), g y
Irengai's orthography (vowels)
Plain Nasal
High i e
Low a u

Stress

Stress is placed in the priority of the vowel order "ɨ, ə, ɨ̃, ə̃". From left to right, these mark the least to most priority for stress. Words like Kiyahe /kɨ.ʀᵝəˈħɨ̃/ have different stress than Uskagel /ˈə̃.θ̠kə.ɰɨ̃l/

Phonotactics

Many consonant clusters are possible in Irengai, but rules include: Consecutive consonants of the same manner / place are not allowed (example: pt, sn) Initial clusters that start with approximants are not allowed (example: jt, gs) Final clusters that end with approximants / fricatives are not allowed (example: kj, pl) Initial clusters with more than 4 consonants are not allowed (example: sklj, krnj) Clusters must be in order from back to front (example: qcl, not qfl) Clusters must be in order from raised to lowered (plosive, fricative, approximant, nasal) Clusters must not exceed 4 in length
